This image is so adorable :) I made the background using the Imagine. I finally got the Black and White Pattern cartridge !!! It hasn't been available for months...but they now have it available as a Digital Cartridge at cricut.com :) SO since I love polka dots I made a black and white polka dot square and put a pink square behind it using the Cricut Craft Room. Then added Christmas Morning and had it match the background and then printed it as one layer. Then I used a scallop circle punch to punch out the image and added stampin' dimensionals to the back of the image and applied it to the background layer.

Supplies:

Cricut Craft Room

Cricut Imagine

White cardstock

Scallop Circle Punch-Stampin' Up

Stampin' Dimensionals

Stampin' Up markers

Now on to my project....

I like making personalized projects for people, like cards, shirts or other projects. For this project I wanted to make my Secret Santa a charm bracelet. I had a lot of fun making a charm bracelet recently and wanted to put her name on it and add some cute chandeliers all from the Baby Boutique Cartridge for the Imagine. I love being able to print fun projects on the Imagine. So I couldn't show you the whole bracelet because that would give away the surprise of who I have, so I will show you one of the chandeliers and one of the letters of the person's name :)

Here is how to make them. I first picked the images I wanted to use and put them on my mat in the "Cricut Craft Room" I love it! You can do a lot of stuff in the new Cricut Craft Room :) I added some color to one of the charms and layered a chandelier on top. Then I printed and cut them out using Ink Jet Shrinky Dink paper. Then I punched a hole at the top before heating them with my heat gun. (it works better than in the oven) I just hold it now on the corner with tweezers. Then once cooled which happens very quickly... I then coat them with clear nail polish to seal them. Then I add the charms to jump rings and attach them to a chain and add a lobster clasp to the end of the chain. It was so fun to make and it would be easy to add more charms to it later :)

I love sparkles, so please leave a comment below to win 2 bottles of Stickles. You will have until December 10th to enter to win.

My daughter (she is 10) and I LOVE the Twilight movies... of course we both have yet to read the books :( We have them, but have not read them except for the first few chapters of the 1st book. But I am going to try to start reading them again. We weren't Twilight fans from the beginning but last year we finally watched Twilight and LOVED IT! So then we watched  New Moon and then couldn't wait for Eclipse! Luckily we only had to wait about 2 months before it came out! Now it feels weird having to wait an entire year for Breaking Dawn to come out!!!! We SO can't wait to see it :)

We are TOTALLY TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!

Kich N Bleus Challenge #8 "Anything Harvest or Thanksgiving"

Hi Everyone!

It is time for another monthly challenge at Kich N Bleus Designs. This month's challenge is "Anything Harvest or Thanksgiving". As usual there is a freebie available on the website for you to use for the challenge if you wish. Be sure and stop by and see all the wonderful creations by the other designers.

The Harvest Mini Collection is available for purchase in the Kich N Bleus Designs Store.

For my project I decided to do a 6x6 box for putting Pumpkin Bars in to give to others. When I think of this time of year I think of Pumpkin Bars. For some reason I will not make them any other time of the year. I just feel weird making them in months other than October and November :) So I better get busy baking or I am going to miss my time window :) I also saw on a blog recently that they made Pumpkin Cake Pops, so I totally want to try to make those this month as well :) Which could also fit well in this box :)

For my project I used the Martha Stewart Scoreboard to make the box, it is 6x6 and is 3 inches high. I used 1 sheet of 12x12 paper to make the top and 1 sheet of 12x12 paper to make the bottom. I also got to use my recently purchased Sizzix Tim Holtz Mini Rosettes die. I love this die set. It makes two different sizes. I first made one of these when I went to the Scrapbook Expo in July. They had these for a make and take at one of the booths and we made the rosette and attached a pin to the back so it could be worn. I have made rosettes since then but did so using the scoreboard...the die is SO MUCH easier... :) I used the smaller rosette for the little ones and put together two of the bigger size for the rosette under the Kich N Bleus digi. I used Tim Holtz Black Soot distress ink for the edges of the sentiment, rosettes and box. That booth also had the distress ink pads to use for the make and take as well so that was my first time using the distress inks as well. I am not usually into "Vintage" but now love the distress inks and other Tim Holtz products!



Supplies:

Kich N Bleus Harvest Mini Collection

Big Kick

Sizzix Tim Holtz Mini Rosettes die

Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink and blender tool

Vintage Coredination Cardstock

White and brown cardstock

Stampin' Up Markers

Copic Marker for skin tone

Hot glue gun and glue

Stampin' Up Sincere Salutations stamp set
